All three suspects are in custody in a manhunt that lasted more than seven hours.

Residents on Rochester Street in Lima, Livingston County were told to stay inside their homes while police searched the area overnight for three suspects.

Steven Alexander, 24, and two other men are currently in police custody. We’re told all three men are wanted in connection with a shooting in the Village of Bath, Steuben County.

Police tell us the suspects were headed back to Rochester, going through Lima, when a sheriff’s deputy spotted them and tried to stop them. We’re told the driver of the vehicle crashed the car alongside of the road. The SWAT team was called in to look for the suspects who took off on foot after the car crash.

Police say two suspects were taken into custody in Honeoye Falls after a witness saw two men walking through a corn field. We’re told the third suspect was taken into custody after police say he was riding a bike through the search area.

Police say the victim from the shooting in Bath is in critical condition at Strong Memorial Hospital.
